Nottingham Forest legend Garry Birtles says a child sex abuse scandal, the plane crash which decimated Brazilian club Chapecoense and the death of former team-mate Paul Futcher has made it a tough one for both him and football.It was both heart-breaking and awe-inspiring watching four ex-footballers on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme, talking about how they had been abused as children.The word legend is over-used, but those four are legends.It cannot have been easy for them to speak out.
